Omeprazole?

Omeprazole? My doctor gave me this to take after my gastric sleeve. However, it's not liquid and I thought I could only have liquids and it stated on the box not to crush? Has anyone else had to take these and how did they go down?

My Dr gave me capsules that I can open and take the beads until I am able to swallow it.

I have it in the capsule form I just sprinkle it on some unsweetened applesause

I had no problems swallowing the capsules. It worked too. I weaned

myself off at the 9 month mark.

I was given the time-release tablets too. I was told they are ok to swallow because they are very small. I'm 2 weeks out and have been ok doing this.

Mine say open capsule, i pour the beads in a spoon and swallow them

We were told to put capsule contents in applesauce, but I also sprinkle the beads in a teaspoon of yogurt.

Same here, open the capsule and sprinkle the beads in my teaspoon of my Thai Tom Yam soup!
